Chapter Eleven: A Note Of Mystery
Cody found Zack waiting on him when he got home.
"Did you go out and buy an apartment?" He asked with a confused tone to his voice.
"No, I'm renting one. Why?" Cody sat in the chair facing him.
"We were finally back together again, and then you have to go out and move? Why Cody Could you not wait to get away from me?" Zack looked hurt.
"That's not it at all. I'm seventeen, I want to start my life." Cody stood up and walked over to Zack.
"We've really grown up over the past three years haven't we?" Zack looked at the floor.
"Yeah, we aren't wild crazy kids anymore."
"Than what are we?" Zack looked at Cody.
"I don't know, but if you want to move in with me, lets do it. It'd be fun." Cody smiled.
"It would, I think I will." Zack stood and hugged Cody.
"I love you, man." He whispered.
"Me too." Cody let go.
Zack sat down. Through the corner of his eye, he saw a note sliding under the door.
"Zack? Hello?" Cody said trying to catch Zack's attention, unaware of the note.
Zack walked to the note and picked it up. He read it , his eyes big. He smiled, but at the same time released tears.
"What is it?" Cody asked, standing by Zack to see the note.
Zack read aloud.
"You may find this a hoax, but I have news to share with you. Your mother is not dead. Maddie is not dead. Believe it or not, they're very much alive. Their times is running out, soon, they will die. He has them, he'll kill them, then he'll come for you."
"Oh my god." Cody whispered.
"What is it?" Moesby asked entering the room.
Zack folded the letter.
"Nothing. It's from Michelle." He smiled and stuck it in his pocket.
"Well, I'm off to the Tipton." Moesby departed them.
"What does this mean?" Cody asked.
"It means, that we have a long journey ahead of us, and we might not make it out alive." Zack took him a slow breath and looked into Cody's face.
